Certified Professionals in StormWater Inspection have a demonstrated expertise in the fields of soil formation and properties, basic hydrology and drainage, and the underlying principles and stormwater management and quality as it pertains to pollutant mitigation or remediation.
A CPSWI (Certified Professional in StormWater Inspection) provides specialized inspection expertise in the fields of stormwater management and quality for: i) construction; ii) municipal, iii) multi-sector/industrial projects, and, iv) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination. Given the complex challenges that face the stormwater community and ever-increasing regulations, CPSWI Certified Professionals utilize more advanced inspection techniques that require specialized knowledge and experience.
The CPSWI program includes a training program and testing of participants to evaluate their knowledge of the required regulations and project stormwater objectives. The CPSWI educational program sets participants up to be certified as possessing an in-depth understanding of the required regulations and project stormwater objectives. Participants in the CPSWI program are tested to ensure they meet federal requirements including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System definition of “Qualified Personnel”.
CPSWI professionals are required to possess the knowledge and understanding needed to partner with Professional Designers and/or Program Managers (such as CPSWQ, CPESC, CPISM, CPMSM, PE’s, etc.) to provide a comprehensive inspection program for utilizing the necessary inspection concepts and requirements for Construction, Industrial, or Municipal projects.
The CPSWI scope includes the following areas of practice:
Stormwater compliance is a critical part of almost every project. Federal and State agencies are increasing regulation and enforcement every year. The environmental impact of poor stormwater management and pollution control is significant and proven. Each of these facts makes it abundantly clear that all construction projects should have a professional on-site, who understands these subjects and has the ability to ensure they are addressed effectively and professionals who can inspect permanent stormwater facilities post construction. By including a qualified professional on your team you help to ensure projects: are done correctly the first time, are well documented, keep the regulators happy, move on-schedule, don’t incur fines, wrap up smoothly, and continue to function correctly after the project is complete.
Certified Professional StormWater Inspectors have been trained and tested on each of these subjects and have proven their proficiency on subjects including but not limited to:
Elevating knowledge and inspiring conservation of the global environment through professional certification.
